On the hearing for item 3 (Plan case PLAN24-00020), staff said the proposal was a tentative tract map and a mitigated negative declaration to allow development of 32 single-family lots on roughly 10 acres zoned R-1 single-family residential, south of Tonia Ridge Lane and Ferndale Road. \"No lots are less than 7,200 square feet with an overall density of approximately 3.2 dwelling units per gross acre,\" staff said during the presentation. After no public speakers on the item, Commissioner Marsh moved and Commissioner Marshall seconded adoption of staff recommendations; the motion passed unanimously.

On item 4 (Plan case PLAN24-00021), staff presented a site plan modification to a previously approved entitlement for a 7,380-square-foot AutoZone store on a 1.3-acre parcel north of Mohave Drive and west of Elevado Road. A subsequent biological survey identified a western Joshua tree within the proposed building footprint, requiring the applicant to obtain an incidental take permit from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and triggering the need for a mitigated negative declaration. Staff said the revised elevations and additional conditions address previous design-guideline deficiencies and incorporate agency comments (Vertex, Southwest Gas, Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District and tribal responses). Commissioner Marsh moved and Commissioner Marshall seconded adoption of the mitigated negative declaration and resolution PD-25-018 approving the site plan modification; the motion passed unanimously.

The commission also approved minutes for May 14, June 11 and July 9, 2025, by unanimous roll-call votes.

Earlier in the meeting Chair Kurth recused himself from agenda item 2 because he said he receives payment from the applicant for unrelated professional services; Kurth left the dais and the commission lost quorum for that item. The commission later voted to reconvene for an adjourned regular meeting at 5 p.m. Sept. 3, 2025, to hear the item the commission could not act on due to the recusal.

Votes and motions recorded at the Aug. 31 meeting were unanimous among the commissioners present (Marsh, Marshall, Kurth when participating). Staff noted procedural requirements for code amendments and CEQA-related processes during presentations. Resolutions and case references recorded in staff reports included PLAN24-00020 (tentative tract map), resolution PD-25-019 (tentative tract map approval), PLAN24-00021, PLAN21-00012 (original AutoZone entitlement), and resolution PD-25-018 (site plan modification approval).","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Commission Regular Meeting of August 13, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","On Aug. 31 the Planning Commission unanimously adopted a tentative tract map for 32 single-family lots, approved a site plan modification for an AutoZone store with a mitigated negative declaration, approved minutes, and set a reconvened meeting for Sept. 3 after a recusal caused loss of quorum on one item.","taxTitle","Victorville City, San Bernardino County, California","taxId",3826,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6589240,"Victorville planning commissioners agree to hear proposal for 24-month vinyl-fence pilot after public comment",619,839000,1458000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5579977-833e6e20a3240fc728f6a634136b69d2&start=839&end=1458","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5579977-833e6e20a3240fc728f6a634136b69d2/thumbnail_839000.jpg","/articles/6589240/Victorville-City/San-Bernardino-County/California/Victorville-planning-commissioners-agree-to-hear-proposal-for-24-month-vinyl-fence-pilot-after-public-comment","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6589240-c03509866edc6b45a5afe273fd3f0aa1/orig.mp4?Expires=1771195909&Signature=ZkGKnOk1x9mHnPKbWaUJW6vw6kXaIx3ktIXhObTk3kWgyEGCgzPQB5B6yP1VGbLj-IN~YPSsAQ~wfQuslRWm4MmACSwFgtSZlRvPCxLijc5do5auW7JNQmqkjPS3~~XgvWgBvDMBnlRw2Zw9QKbQXHDyf83PHe94voCv-UClc~cCZajfAz4LpDXpsKZYQ1SMU9VCaJC3iPWdwldqCfpfHKBQHFEr0~ZP~u-sBHwZAiQQy3VBevpIHsitevpVm30CeQwRRmX6RmWdcvXg-pXLgSczmg-4iOZpfP69mF19cbBGCMy5YEFlogfoBA74qP9CZJ4YuCxncDNCxXahfoN5qA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Victorville Planning Commission voted unanimously Aug. 31 to place a presentation on the September agenda about a proposed 24-month pilot program that would allow limited use of vinyl fencing in side and rear yards within tract boundaries.

The request came during the meeting’s public comment period from multiple building-industry representatives. \"We respectfully request the planning commission bring forward an agenda item for your September meeting to permit the limited use of vinyl fencing within tract boundaries, specifically side yard and rear yard fencing as part of a 24 month pilot program,\" said Carlos Rodriguez, chief policy officer for the Building Industry Association of Southern California.

Commissioners heard similar testimony from homebuilder and supplier representatives who said an engineered, reinforced vinyl product can meet local wind and durability needs and could reduce construction costs. \"The average saving per lot when going vinyl versus block is on average $10,000,\" said Yvonne Feingold, vice president of operations for Pacific Immunities, adding that savings could be used to buy down interest rates or otherwise improve affordability for buyers.

The presenters said the proposed product would use steel-reinforced posts, concrete footings, UV protection and a 20-year warranty; one installer said upgraded designs could withstand wind loads of 95 to 110 mph. \"They designed something that would shorten up the on centers, add steel into the post and into the rail, and then we went ahead and helped them out with calculations,\" said Rick Cavazos, who identified himself as representing a major local fencing contractor.

Staff clarified that a formal vote was required to agendize the presentation and that a code amendment, if pursued, would require the city’s required noticing (the staff member noted a 20-day notice requirement for formal code amendments). The commission’s process description was provided before the motion: staff recommended the applicants be allowed to give a presentation at the next regular meeting, with the planning commission to determine afterward if actionable requests should be made of staff.

Commissioner Marsh made the motion to agendize a September presentation; Commissioner Marshall seconded. The chair took a roll-call vote: Marsh — yes; Marshall — aye; Chair Kurth — yes. The motion passed unanimously.

Commissioners and staff noted that the September presentation would allow a focused review (including product demonstrations and supporting calculations) and that any formal code amendment would follow the city’s public-notice and review timetable. The commission did not discuss or decide on any code changes at the Aug. 31 meeting; commissioners explicitly closed public comment and said they could not deliberate on a non-agendized item beyond deciding whether to place it on a future agenda.

The presentation will be scheduled for the commission’s regular meeting on Sept. 10, 2025, as established during the Aug. 31 meeting.","After public comments from builders and suppliers urging an exception to local code, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to place a presentation on vinyl fencing on the September agenda so commissioners and staff can consider a 24-month pilot program.","actionData","errors"]
